What Is thIs?

I have a grievance .

Against??!
Don't know exactly against whom? The country, administration or some selfish dolts?!!
The topic is a much much discussed and a much controversial one though, yet I need to speak a bit on the topic and vent out my thoughts.

"Reservation and quotas".

A particular national level exam has 84 seats out of which 52 are for OBC,18 for SC/ST/PH. So for general candidates '14' seats are allotted. Isn't this an injustice?
Backward classes and all stuffs, yeah I know those things, but are we(general caste people) not important? As far my knowledge goes or normal sense says: Number of general category candidates appearing for exams are considerably more than the number of other class people. Reservation is alright for promoting them,for their progress but more than 80% reservation!!!???
Is it really necessary.?!
This has already caused the increase of corruption among all level of people. People already belonging to these backward classes often take the disadvantages of belonging to these categories.
Reservation was made for the purpose of helping the ones who are unable to progress,who remained veiled by customs made by the 'so-called high castes' of the society, who are economically weaker. But as a result of this reservation thing, even the economically richer ones or non-deserving ones(or both) are getting posted in high posts. Apart from this a number of people who doesn't belong to these classes are making fake certificates for gaining (dis)advantages..!!
Is it right in a developing country like India? Doesn't it retard country's progress all the more?Isn't it a black spot on the name of democracy of a 'sovereign' country, somehow?

Firstly, some non-deserving candidates[point to be noted: I am not saying all are not good, or all doesn't deserve, but some really really doesn't deserve.] without proper knowledge or capability spoil the dignity of the position and secondly, Frustration breeds in other deserving candidates. Most are not determined and dedicated enough like "Rizwan khan" to go to the high authority and claim:"We deserve".

Recently NTPC is recruiting engineers. They are supposed to take 162 mechanical engineers. Well, coming to the main point ,among them : 108 are OBC,36 are general, rest are SC/ST.
IS it really OK? Can this keep on going or this will keep on going?

Coming to this scenario Reservation system was first kept in place after independence because people are really backward. It also stated that this will be applicable only till 1960 sometime but power hungry politicians are making it everytime available!

The whole reservations thing has become a big joke!!! I dont think you need to do anything special for anyone unless they are very poor. You cant have reservations based on caste. If you want to help the poor, do it by providing them with good education so that they can compete with others and earn the seat.

I have a different take on this. I would say make 100% reservation. General category will learn on their own. Let all posts be taken up by SC/STs, backward class, OBCs and the likes. General category will continue to live, somehow! Then when the country has gone to the dogs, which is already I feel, then start providing 80% reservation for general categories, so that you stop them from being extinct.

Frankly, all patriotism on one side, I don't think India is making living worthwhile for anyone. I am sorry, but it is true. Only God can save us now.

Well yes its been a very controversial topic among the general category from past. why don't these people realize that giving them a quota itself is discrimination and making them feel that they are left out in the community. Education and now even politics being such a major issue under reservation i would say no reservation in any field. Neither for cast/gender/race all should be treated the same as our law being equal for every individual. (negating bureaucracy and bribery)

I really don't want to comment on this topic .. am sick and tired of reservation !!

The next thing some committee will come up could be as weird as "Reservation for those who favor reservations, or to those who get up at 5 in the morning, or have only one sibling, or eat without chewing .. sorry I can keep going on" ;)

this happens when some old uneducated stupid sits on the top of the constitution and framework. u might have heard that when parliament started about a bill on minimum educational qualification, every oldies protested and did walkouts. How could we develop? Glad that politicians can't hold on IT.

And these stupids think india is still in 1947. Its time to think over. today every one is as competent as others.
